Prithvi Shaw in Buchi Babu tournament (Source:@Saabir_Saabu01/X.com)
Prithvi Shaw, the talented right-handed batter from Mumbai, has been at the centre of criticism for not respecting the game. He was ignored from the Mumbai Ranji team and Vijay Hazare team in the last domestic season, and recently he decided to move to Maharashtra.
Prithvi Shaw Stands Tall With Century Amidst Struggle Of Maharashtra Batters
Now, in his debut game for Maharashtra, the batter has made a big statement with a century against Chhattisgarh. The speciality of the knock was that the rest of the batters struggled on the spicy pitch, but Prithvi Shaw stood tall and kept his team going with an aggressive hundred.
On Day 1 of the game, Chattisgarh were bowled out for just 252, and in reply, Maharashtra started well with 71 for no loss. However, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals after that and from 71-0, they were reduced to 86 for four. Prithvi Shaw, though, kept going and scored the majority of runs. He eventually departed for 111 off 141 balls and was the sixth wicket to go down for Maharashtra at a score of 166.

Prithvi Shaw Starts His Maharashtra Journey On A Bright Note
Thus, Shaw scored the bulk of runs and brought Maharashtra close to the first innings total of Chhattisgarh. The batter hit 15 fours and one six and scored his runs at a strike-rate of 78.72, staying true to his brand of cricket.
Also, this knock from Prithvi Shaw in his very first innings for Maharashtra is likely to give him a lot of confidence. He has been going through a rough patch in his career, and if he manages to score consistently for Maharashtra, he is likely to get back the recognition and fame he once had.
